Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Rasmussen always loves meeting new patients and helping them reclaim their smiles, whether it’s through gum disease treatment or the placement of dental implants. We understand that you might have questions about the process, and luckily you can get the answers you need on behalf of Periodontics & Implant Dentistry of Tallahassee. The questions below are just a few examples of things our patients ask us; call our office if there’s anything else you want to know.

What is the Best Way to Find Someone Who Places Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-term investment in oral health, and it’s important that you pick the right oral health professional for the procedure. As a periodontist, Dr. Rasmussen “specializes” in placing dental implants, meaning he has training and experience beyond what a regular dentist would have to offer. This makes him more reliable when it comes to complex implant cases. Also, he has been board-certified by the American Board of Periodontology, and he regularly gives lectures at several nearby study clubs about implant placement. In short, if you’re looking for an expert in implant surgery, you need look no further than our practice.

How Do I Get Emergency Periodontal Care?

Step one is to call our practice right away and let someone on our staff help you. If there’s a life-threatening emergency such as unstoppable bleeding or a fractured jaw, you should call 911 instead; however, if there’s no immediate risk to your life, it’s better to call an oral health professional since most emergency rooms are note equipped to deal with typical dental issues. Most of the time, you should expect to be able to get a same-day appointment, so don’t hesitate to call right away. Remember, dental emergencies are often linked to even larger issues, so you can’t lose any time having them examined and treated.

What Do You Do if You Can’t Afford Periodontal Care?

Dental insurance can go a long way towards helping you afford periodontal treatments. Most plans do cover a number of treatments for gum disease; as for dental implants, many may not pay for the posts themselves, but they might still cover certain related procedures. Even if you don’t have insurance, though, you can still apply for third-party financing through CareCredit, which offers a variety of payment play with low interest rates. Also, we run a number of special offers from time to time that can help our patients take advantage of our popular services.

What Level of Education is Required to Be a Periodontist?

First of all, periodontists need to undergo the same education as general dentists. That means earning a four-year undergraduate college degree before attending an accredited dental school and graduating with either a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Medical Dentistry (DMD). Then, they need to complete a periodontology residency program that has been accredited by the ADA, which takes about three to seven years. In addition to the above, Dr. Rasmussen has also undergone a number of written and oral examinations to earn board certification. To remain certified, periodontists need to fulfil continuing education requirements and other professional activities every six years.
